What does this tell u?

Many dental procedures are simple and routine and dentists are just overcharging.

Maybe certain types of dental procedure should be allowed to be carried out by non dentist.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Do u dare to let someone not trained do dental procedures on you? What if something goes wrong? Blame who? I'd rather pay to let a trained licensed dentist do it.

This means that medical cost is now out of control in SG. There's great demand for such services.

She cannot work in dental clinics, meh?

Or her Mmalaysian diploma not recognised here?
Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

S$600 to fix a full set of braces.

Maybe she can conduct a DIY course and people can learn from her. Now, dental appointments are always fully booked. One treatment, one appointment.
